Name: ESP LTD NW-44 NEIL WESTFALL Electric Guitar (Olympic White)
SKU: 251237

A Day To Remember’s founding guitarist and songwriter Neil Westfall has a simple formula — hard grooves and big hooks — but even that comes with strenuous technical demands when it comes to choosing an instrument. This signature instrument, the LTD Neil Westfall Signature NW-44 Electric Guitar from ESP, is endlessly refined to meet the rigorous demands of a sound like Neil’s without the distracting need for lots of hands-on tweaking and sculpting of tones. This guitar’s elegant features include an extended 24-fret fingerboard, a resonant maple/mahogany body build, and a 3-piece set-through neck design for more sustain and upper-fret access. But the undeniable highlight here is a lone Bare Knuckle pickup: the Aftermath. This devastating humbucker is hand-wound in the UK and outfitted with custom ceramic magnets for searing tone and premium clarity. The Aftermath’s tone scores a critical hit with metalcore connoisseurs — its pinpoint-accurate bass sensitivity is a must-have for breakdowns that look, feel, and sound professional — but with custom-tuned highs, mids, and lows, the Aftermath is perfect for any heavy music lover who yearns for a glimpse of clarity within the high-gain storms.

Bare Knuckle Aftermath: suckerpunch your riffs

Fresh from the UK, this guitar’s Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickup delivers crushing hot ceramic output matched with boutique-quality features. The Aftermath is fine-tuned for modern metal with 3 custom ceramic magnets that complement its distinct bass, mid, and treble response. Most notable is the Bare Knuckle’s ultra-fast bass response, specially enhanced for fast amplification of high-speed staccato breakdowns that less-tailored pickups simply can’t handle. The Aftermath’s fierce, intense, mid frequencies are fit for downturned guitars and slice through any mix, while articulate full-bodied highs stand at the ready for players eager to solo. Overall, the Aftermath has a naturally compressed character that boosts fidelity with clear attack, ceaseless definition, and lasting sustain. It’s a perfect tool for tackling high-gain tones.

Strapping mahogany tonewoods matched with maple

The ESP LTD Neil Westfall Signature NW-44 does a killer A Day To Remember tone and much more. A lightweight, high-quality mahogany body gives this guitar a full-bodied, rich sound that blends seamlessly with countless genres and styles while a maple body cap provides crisp high-end snarl and bite that enhances any distorted tone with just the right amount of sublime rock magic. All in all, this guitar churns out brutal cabinet-shaking power chords effortlessly with a low-mid blast radius of harmonic content that’s perfect for breakdowns and sustain for days.

Outlandish sustain

Immediately upon inspection, one of the LTD NW-44’s most striking features is its 3-piece mahogany neck, complete with ESP’s “Thin U” profile for a feel that’s grippy and substantial yet fast and accurate at both ends of the neck. Mahogany delivers comfortable support for your fretting hand, matched with a smooth ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets for additional range and effortless bends. Additionally, 3-piece neck construction helps keep your setup stable when hitting the road or faced with extreme humidity or temperature shifts. This set-through neck is deeply joined to the NW-44’s body for maximum resonance between tonewoods. What results is a brutal bump in sustain (great for intros, outros, feedback, and leads) with the added perk of better access to upper frets than a bolt-on neck could ever offer.
